The race to the White House is heating up as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump continue their campaigns with only seven days left until the election on November 5th. Harris and Tim Waltz focused on young voters in Michigan, while Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen spoke in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, in Atlanta, Donald Trump denied comparisons to Hitler and claimed he is the “opposite of a Nazi” after racist remarks at his rally in Madison Square Garden.
Trump is expected to face questions about the racist comments at the New York event during a news conference at Mar-a-Lago and a visit to Allentown, Pennsylvania. Bernie Sanders campaigned for Harris in Wisconsin, criticizing Mike Pence for not supporting Trump and highlighting the need for change in US policy towards Netanyahu. Bruce Springsteen voiced his support for Harris and criticized Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Anita Hill expressed sympathy for Kamala Harris in the face of racist and sexist insults. The NAACP released a survey showing a decrease in support for Trump among young Black men and an increase in support for Harris. Joe Rogan offered to interview Harris for his podcast, following his recent interview with Trump.
As Trump faces backlash for racist remarks at his rally, Steve Bannon was released from prison and resumed hosting his podcast. Harris is expected to address 40,000 people in Washington DC to present her vision for the presidency and contrast herself with Trump. USA Today, along with other major newspapers, decided not to endorse a candidate for the election this year.
Trump claimed he did not hear comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s Puerto Rico comment at his rally and expressed interest in interviewing Kamala Harris for his podcast. Harris is set to give interviews in battleground states before her closing argument speech in Washington DC. Trump will deliver remarks at Mar-a-Lago, attend a roundtable in Pennsylvania, and speak at a campaign rally in Allentown later in the day.
